        Verdict

        Fendale scored over 6f here last month but has won over track and trip off a higher mark in the past. Dazzling Des returned to winning ways last time when beating JAMES WATT a neck over course and distance. But the latter was having his first outing since October and is taken to reverse running with improvement expected. Fashion Advice also won here recently to end a long losing run while Spirit Power scored at Southwell on his latest start but has also has winning form at the track. Dapper Man and the returning Nibras Again are not out of this either.
